When I was 16 there was a girl in Hot Pants and knee boots on the other side of the road. I was so engrossed (not sure if that is the correct word😜) I walked into a waste bin attached to a pole, broke my glasses and cut my top lip open. But her image is still emblazoned in my mind 😀

Hahaha! Oh lord! Let me count the ways! I nearly drowned in the New River trying to pull a hydroelectric rock move, nearly broke my neck (and busted my head wide open in the process) on a Spring Break trip to South Padre by diving into 3′ of water that I thought was 5′, Got my hand broke in a fight. That’s just a small sample size. 😃

Jumping out of the hay storage in the top of a barn down to the ground below and landing on the sharp side of a hoe. nearly took a foot off……….orrrrrrrrr, it might have been crashing my brother’s motorcycle into the neighbors living room and breaking both legs………or it possibly could have been bungee jumping off a bridge over the cumberland River, having the cord break and landing in rather shallow water….can add nearly drowning to a broken leg and arm with that one.

I’m from Florida and so normal people play volleyball at the beach or a sand pit. Not in NY. They play wherever they can set up the net. Common knowledge – someone calls the ball, everyone else moves out of the way. When I called the ball, these two ladies decided to go for the ball at the same time. To keep from colliding with them, I shifted my body and tried to break my fall.

I was (I think) 9 years old when I tried to roll or slide down a big pile of dirt in a cardboard box. I got a cut on my head (and probably a slight concussion). Well, head cuts bleed a lot. Mom was a bit upset.

Oh do I have to pick just one? Probably getting so drunk, I knocked my two front teeth out.

But there are so many more, 8 stitches in my arm, having to glue the bottom of my back together, 3 stitches in my chin, the great big scar on the back of my knee from jumping off a combine harvester has to be up there as well

Walking! I literally, step out of the house and my foot didn’t land right. Broke it just like that! We could also add that’s tied with trying to break up a dog fight and I messed the dog but managed to kick the bed post with the top of my foot. Never sprained it from the top down. I am a walking hazard lol

I think I must have been about 8 or 9. My parents were skiing and a friend was looking after us kids but she didn’t pick on me grabbing my dad’s super duper Swiss Army Knife. I went outside to play and there was this huge block of ice in the wall that was created by the machine cleaning the roads of snow. I wanted to cut it out of the snow. Held the knife wrong, pushed and the blade closed with my finger in the way… lucky I didn’t cut it off entirely… The lady looking after us thought it was just a deep cut. So she wrapped it up and put ice on it. When my parents came home an hour later it was still bleeding and so my mum took me to the doctor. I managed to cut through the ligament and tendons… so needed surgery to fix it all up. Still works and I now know how to hold a Swiss Army knife properly 😉
